Osia forms of reporting work-related injuries are illnesses.

Steve, Hansen, here coal for another janitorial store calm in my house, clean viscom, say you know.

Unfortunately, you know there, you do have injuries and illnesses that do happen in the workplace, and you know that's why we're always talking about doing safety training, so we can hopefully prevent these from happening, but neither case when they do happen.

We have to make sure that we are filling out the write reports and reporting things, though, that we should so typically, when you have a work-related illness or injury, you have to fill out some form, some ultra forms and what I have here is a form 301, and this here is actually the form 301 is actually the one of the first forms that you should fill out once you've been what's an injury or in this has been brought to your attention.

In fact, you have to do that within seven days, so order to remember that.

That's probably most important thing now, if you're asking they're wondering where you can get these forms, the thing to do is just do a Google search for osho, a form 300 and related pages and you'll be able to get all the pages that you need for your OSHA reporting.

But anyway, so let's say you have somebody that reported an accident or an injury.

You know an injury or illness, you have, you have to fill out the form, 300 form 301 or form 301.

You have to fill out within seven days of the incident, so always remember that and they're pretty self-explanatory and when you're looking at these, you know of these, it has all the instructions that everything records it's very very self-explanatory.

So they make it easy for you.

So the other thing is that what you want to do is and I had this bookmark, so I could find it quicker, and one thing that you want to do is that you have to keep a log also of the illnesses and injuries that have occurred in your business and with that that's form, 300.

That's where you lock log your work-related injuries and illnesses and again you know they make it simple.

Just follow the instructions on here and you'll be able to fill it out now.

You know, once you read the instructions you're going to see that you know.

Obviously, in some cases you would not put a person's name and so on and so forth.

You know when, when it's a sensitive situation but anyway follow the instructions and you'll be able to fill it all correctly and have no issues, but the thing is that we have to fill these out so and what we always do is no matter what the injury, even if somebody just had a little scrape on their scrape on a finger or something like that there.

We rather have them report that you know, because it's not that they had to go to the hospital or anything like that there, but we want them to report something like that, because that little scrape could turn turn into an infection which, in turn would cause them to have to go to the claim for the hospital.

So that's why we always tell our the employees to make sure that you, you know.

Let us know about every little little injury that you may have, because it could turn into a big injury.

You know a big issue later, so that's why we always do that.

You know so once a once in the supervisors are notified, you know their their job is to go ahead and and document it and have everybody fill out the proper forms so like I say the first thing that you do is they fill up form 301.

You know, then it go here to the form of 300 and put it on here, and you actually have another form, that's the 308, and what this is? It's a summary.

It's a summary of the work-related injuries and illnesses.

So again, just you know following instructions that they have here and it's just going to give you.

You know breakdown of the total.

You know if you had any deaths and so on and so forth, a total number of cases with days away from work and and things like that there.

So you know it's good, it's just good! You have to do this and it's good information out, because you know if you, if you're like us, we were really strict on our safety.

You know we don't want to have any any injuries or illnesses.

You know ever you know, but there are times when things happen and I'll tell you one story that we haven't I'm there for a while that people were always getting getting cuts on some dispensers and some of the dispensers out there that they were putting out worthless, stainless steel, and you know, rather than having a nice rounded edge or something to them.

You know it was kind of a sharp edge and people would always be getting cut on them when they were filling the dispenser, and so that was something that we had to address.

You know you need the case in the head.

We had to go ahead and put it down on our report, and so we did that, but the other thing that I did is I change dispensers.

You know, because, obviously that was a safety hazard, so I did not want to continue to use that that type of dispenser, if it's going to continue to cause people to cut their fingers.

So anyway, that's what we did, but the other thing too is that for the the form 380 and I posted this before on social media and other things, but you have to remember that this summary has to be posted from February 1st to April 30th, you know of the year following the year of the covered, you know by the forum, so just remember that and put it on your google calendar or something like that.

You know that you have to post this from February 1st to April 30th and again it's just a summary of your injuries and illnesses, and you would probably post this where you put your your federal and state posters that, where you post those to clean your break room- and you know kind of a common area for where employees would have access to it and again, you know, like I, say there's in some situations on some of these reports.

You want less people's names and things and but follow the instructions on under on the reports themselves and you'll be fine.

It's not a big deal, but I just wanted to.

Let everybody be aware of this, because many people may not be aware that they should be doing this stuff, and it's very, very important.

You know the one thing that that happens is that if somebody were to get injured- and they don't tell you about it and then months later they it ends up being an issue of you know that was caused by the initial injury.

Well, you know they could be.

They could be the decline for workman's comp.

So that's again, why it's so important to make sure that your employees know that you know report injuries to us.

You know we have to be able to track it.

We got to be able to manage it, and you know that's the only way we can do.

That is.

If we, if we know about it and like say the most important thing, is that you don't want to have somebody get injured just because it's a little tiny scratch.

You just think it's nothing and that little tiny scratch gets infected and it turns into a big issue.

That's the things that you want to avoid, so so very important.

So I want to share this with you, and hopefully you guys you find this helpful and if you did go ahead and click on the like and share button and as usual, if you have not subscribed to our YouTube channel, yet you don't click the subscribe button and you know you're going to find hundreds of videos that we've done on how to build a successful cleaning business.

So until next time that's all I have so we'll see you later.
